We hired Event Elements to cater our daughter's wedding reception. Our guests thought the appetizers were amazing. The way that the food was paired together was unique and delicious. I wish that I could post pictures of the sugar smack bacon tower as well as the presentation of the rest of the food because it looked so elegant. The main course was just as wonderful and was enjoyed by all. Kathy and Jeff took the time to listen to what we wanted and then made recommendations based upon that and created a masterpiece! We interviewed several different caterers and went to several tastings before deciding upon Event Elements and there really is no comparison with regard to the quality, care and creativity of what they can provide. The servers were also excellent and accommodating. So many of our guests commented that Event Elements had provided the best food that they had ever tasted at a wedding reception. We are so pleased with our decision to hire Event Elements.Thank You!

Kathy was excellent to work with. This was our first wedding for 135 folks, and Kathy Gabe is plenty of menu options and suggestions. Received many compliments on both appetizers and main course dishes. We met to plan the menu, she provided a taste testing for us and also met us at the venue weeks before to ensure she new the kitchen options of the venue and to help us plan the floor plan for eastbound flow. From the appetizers to the staff who assisted with champagne toast and clean up - her execution was flawless. Left us time to enjoy the night with our guests. We have another wedding on the horizon and already know Kathy will be catering. Bonus - her price was extremely reasonable given the scope of services. Don’t hesitate on this one. Event Elemets rocks!

The most important things to me in having this catered dinner for a very special person as well as very special guests were 1. Appeal and and tastiness of the food; 2. How the guest of honor and others were treated; 3. Smoothness of the evening's flow; 4. Communication between caterer and me from start to finish; 5. How cleanup was handled. All were Excellent. This is a first-class act! So glad we found Event Elements.

Event Elements made our party great. Kathy was so easy and calming to work with. We just knew we were in good hands. Our guests RAVED about the food and the quantity was more than enough for our group of 50-60 folks. They served and prepped like a well oiled machine and in a way that made guests want to watch for awhile and be the first to get at each yummy delight. We were thrilled to have found Kathy Paradise. Her name says it all.
